This story revolves around Krillin and takes place after Frieza's revival and  death at Goku's hands.  Instead of celebrating the saiyan's victory with the rest of the Z Warriors, Krillin finds that he's actually angry.  Not at Goku, but at saiyans.  The earth was always defended by saiyans.  Krillin is tired of being weak, but doesn't know what to do.  Then Whis makes an offer.

Naruto has been neglected his entire life. His father is a drunk who never wanted him, his mother is a stripper who went to America to make something of herself, and his brother left the family years ago never to be seen again, but things are about to change when the brother show's up again and insists on adopting Naruto.

"...Naruto tied his hitai-ate around his forehead for the first time after three years... ...The only way back to the Leaf was to pretend he had regretted his actions..." Semi-AU, darker Naruto, NaruHina, early Kyuubi friendship.

Pushed aside for the sake of his siblings, Naruto gains knowledge of this mad world through literature. For a child still learning of life's struggles, that can be a damaging thing. The world is quick to call a babbling man insane when he is more likely the genius of his own words. A fool with a kunai is no match for a genius with a pebble.
